I am a 15 year old girl and I have never been kissed. I dont see anything wrong with it. I want to wait and grow up before i get into a serios relationship. You should just wait and see what happens when your ready for it to happen.

largentsgirl89 agony auntDon't feel pressured to have sex or relationships until you are ready!!! No one can tell you when you are ready and it doesn't hurt to wait. I think it takes more courage to wait than to conform to other people's ideas of when the right time is.

As a mother at a young age, I wish I would have waited for the right guy and I didn't because I felt pressured.

at this age, its usual for guys to feel insecure. but what you need is not girlfriend . she can be near or far away from you but a time will come when it will be much better to start a relationship . just wait till you're stable in emotion. then start looking FOR your sweetie

lawyerbait agony auntTake your time. I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 17, and it was kind of a disaster. I didn't have sex until later, after all my other friends, and I think I turned out ok. There's no sense in rushing it - dang you're young, and you have so much more time left before meeting the woman of your dreams [note I said WOMAN, not GIRL]

There's no need to rush anything!

Everything will happen in time and when it's right for you, don't give in to peer pressure :]

Good Luck!

dirtball agony auntNope, it's normal. There is no need to hurry. Sure, many people you know are dating or have dated. That doesn't mean everyone does though. It also doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.

It will happen when you're ready. If you want it to happen, I'm sure you can find someone.

justjess agony auntI'm a 16 year old female and in exactly the same situ. as you. I don't think there's anything "wrong" with it. And think that it is fairly normal, up untill now I've never been emotionaly ready for anything even now I now I'm not.

Much as we hate to admit it, at 16 were still kids, still have alot of growing up/finding ourselves to do. If you happen to meet someone you like thats all well and good but dont give in to peer pressure and get a gf just cos all your mates have one
